Quick Water Requirements
Water Liters
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 31.4 L) 29.4
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 31.4 L) 32.3
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -4.4
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 27 L) 25
Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.3

WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Loosely based on Yorkshire bitter recipe from the beer bible. Crystal medium, leftover wheat/barley for head retention. Wilko ale yeast (Nottingham equivalent?)
